Do you know if there is a Sun-provided Symantec anti-virus for Windows 7 64-bit?

Yes, you are absolutely correct! I've tidied the article up now, thanks for the heads uphttps://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/anonymous_ftp_in_a_solaris#comment-1240382228000Re: Anonymous FTP in a Solaris 8 Branded ZoneMike GerdtsWed, 22 Apr 2009 06:37:08 +0000It looks as though you are giving read-write access to files in the global zone (/.SUNWnative, which probably doesn't exist) via the non-global zone's ~ftp/.SUNWnative directory.
It seems as though what you really want is a /etc/vfstab entry in the non-global zone that looks like:
/.SUNWnative - /users/ftp/.SUNWnative lofs - yes ro
If you really have a populated /.SUNWnative in the global zone, surely you want the zone configuration to use a mount option of &quot;ro&quot;.
Unfortunately I don't have an S8 branded zone to try this out with to confirm, so please correct me if I am wrong.https://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/udp_get_next_priv_port#comment-1233546450000Re: Understanding udp_get_next_priv_port()LewisMon, 2 Feb 2009 03:47:30 +0000and we have a winner :)
yes, next_priv_port is a static variable, which means that it is initialised only once and the value persists for subsequent calls to the functionhttps://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/udp_get_next_priv_port#comment-1233510023000Re: Understanding udp_get_next_priv_port()RichardSun, 1 Feb 2009 17:40:23 +0000Have you highlighted the clue in green? ;-)https://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/introduction_to_solaris_cifs_vscan#comment-1233283522000Re: Introduction to Solaris CIFS & VSCAN (Cardiff presentation)LewisFri, 30 Jan 2009 02:45:22 +0000Hi Sharif
No problem at all, it was great to get the chance to present the material
Let me know if you have any other questionshttps://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/introduction_to_solaris_cifs_vscan#comment-1233154991000Re: Introduction to Solaris CIFS & VSCAN (Cardiff presentation)Sharif SalahWed, 28 Jan 2009 15:03:11 +0000Hi Lewis, just wanted to say thanks again for the talk, I really enjoyed it. I explained to you just after the talk that my employer (Portsmouth Uni.) is in the early stages of 'exploring' AD, and with a large installed base of SPARC hardware, the information you presented will be invaluable.
Your presentation was very clearly presented and well paced. I have already downloaded the slides and will pour over the information this week.https://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/compiling_mplayer_on_opensolaris_2008#comment-1226846763000Re: Compiling MPlayer on OpenSolaris 2008.05susegeckoSun, 16 Nov 2008 14:46:03 +0000I did something similar &amp; accomplished the same if not better result. I posted it @ http://forum.opensolaris.com/thread.jspa?threadID=684&amp;tstart=0
I posted this here as well, because I feel it is more relevant to the topic.
I been messing around with Mplayer &amp; trying to get aTunes working, because aTunes uses Mplayer's environment for playback. It took a while, but after about a week of research &amp; trial &amp; errors just trying to configure the src for Mplayer. I may have cheated, because I have LWS added as an IPS repo, and I have everything from it installed, and I used it as a lib dir.
The following is the configure line for mplayer:
./configure --libdir=/opt/LSW/lib --enable-color-console --enable-gui --enable-menu --prefix=/usr
I installed it directly into the OpenSolaris file structure, and seems to working fine. I had a couple of issues with getting it to gmake install due to some -rdynamic issue, but I just deleted it from the config.mak file &amp; ran &quot;gmake install&quot; again, (make sure once you delete this file you do not run ./configure again, because it just remakes the same unedited file again). I also had some issues with trying to get the Makefile to just install the mplayer, mencoder, &amp; the man files, but I made some adjustments &amp; copied over some files manually &amp; it seems to work well (After downloading a skin) as a stand alone player for m4a, mp3, what ever else you want. It also enables aTunes to work flawlessly. After I got this working I decided to try to the mplayerplug-in working for Firefox, so I downloaded the source for the plugin &amp; compiled it with the following:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mozilla-home=/usr/lib/firefox --enable-wmp --enable-qt --enable-rm --enable-gmp --enable-dvx --libdir=/opt/LSW/lib
And Presto Built &amp; installed I tried it out on a page with mms &amp; it hung out gray for a while &amp; then it launched with sound &amp; all of that nice stuff. I was trying to get Songbird working, but I could not get it to recognize any gst plug-ins were ever they were installed or linked, so I am happy that I got some thing to work well &amp; with a linited amount of aggrevation.
I will answer any questions that anyone may have, and I will get some detailed instructions on How To Do this fun stuff after I get all of the info together.
Later!https://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/compiling_mplayer_on_opensolaris_2008#comment-1223993926000Re: Compiling MPlayer on OpenSolaris 2008.05naywardTue, 14 Oct 2008 14:18:46 +0000Luciano - try to enable blastwave repositories for this package to be foundhttps://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/compiling_mplayer_on_opensolaris_2008#comment-1223652064000Re: Compiling MPlayer on OpenSolaris 2008.05LucianoFri, 10 Oct 2008 15:21:04 +0000I am receive a message &quot;pkg: no package matching IPSgawk could be found in current catalog...&quot;, why?

Did you make sure to set your PATH? i.e. $ export PATH=/opt/csw/gnu:$PATHhttps://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/compiling_mplayer_on_opensolaris_2008#comment-1211248327000Re: Compiling MPlayer on OpenSolaris 2008.05Fabio CanesinTue, 20 May 2008 01:52:07 +0000HI,

Try doing 'pkg search -r libggi.so.2' to see if there is an IPS package that provides libggi.so.2.

The awk errors are due to not having the GNU version of awk first in your PATH. Try:
$ export PATH=/opt/csw/gnu:$PATH
before running gmake. Also make sure that /opt/csw/gnu/awk exists and workshttps://blogs.oracle.com/lewiz/entry/compiling_mplayer_on_opensolaris_2008#comment-1211069631000Re: Compiling MPlayer on OpenSolaris 2008.05W. Wayne LiauhSun, 18 May 2008 00:13:51 +0000Hi,

I agree that what most would consider basic media playback will hold back Indiana from many people using it day to day. We &quot;the community&quot; need to start looking at how we can incorporate this and other encumbered functionality (such as DVD playback) whilst also avoiding any sort of legal issues that come from the fact that these technologies are heavily patented.
I can see that MPlayer is in Blastwaves IPS however it seems to be one of the packages that wont work as yet (loops).
